4 Aim is "train" as in rifle shooting.
"D" is delta.

19 Yes, the Sub = reserve, in a game/sport, and Tract is an area of land. Dock = subtract, take away.

19, "reserve" is "sub"(stitute).
land is a "tract"
"subtract" is dock.

Glad we could help, catchcharmer. I suppose the sub/reserve doesn't necessarily have to be in sport - it could be in a quiz team, for example!
